PLEASANTON, CA - There’s stil time for you to make reservations for the 9th Annual Wines & Valentines winemaker’s fundraiser at Castlewood Country Club this Friday, February 12, beginning at 6:30 p.m. This year’s event will feature wines from the Boisset Collection from the Boisset Family Estates.

This is a family owned collection of wineries spanning some of the world’s most prestigious wine growing regions including Sonoma and the Napa Valley. Jean Claude Boisset was born in Burgundy, France and has had a passion for excellent wine and food throughout his life. He fell in love with California and started several wineries here to reflect the Franco-American heritage by uniting the best of the old world and the new into one world of wine.

These exclusive wines are usually only available through private wine tasting events.

Wines will be paired to complement each of the four courses of the meal created by Castlewood Country Club. Guests will enjoy ahi tuna on a won ton crisp and greek olive tapenade on crostini, Hacienda salad, and a choice of pan seared Corvina sea Bass, grilled filet mignon, or vegetable risotto. The meal will finish with a chocolate molten lava cake.

The Winemakers Dinner is a fundraiser for Museum on Main in Pleasanton.

“Many guests return year after year for the great food and wine,” says Executive Director for the museum, Jim DeMersman. “But they also love the 2-bit auction, a fast paced live auction where guests can win prizes for the equivalent of 2-bits, equal to one quarter.”

Tickets to the event are $85 per person and may be purchased online, at Museum on Main during regular operating hours or by phoning the museum at (925) 462-2766. Tickets purchased by phone and online will be available for pick up at Will Call in the lobby of Castlewood Country Club on the evening of the event. Cash, check, Visa and MasterCard accepted.
